Ingredients
Scale
2 Onions, chopped
1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic paste
½ Tomato, chopped
½ tsp Kashmiri chili powder
¼ tsp Turmeric powder
2 tsp Tomato ketchup
2 tsp Mayonnaise
½ cup Chicken, boiled and shredded
½ cup Green peas (frozen)
Salt to taste
Oil for cooking and deep frying
10 Bread slices
1½ cups Bread crumbs
1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan. Sauté the chopped onions until softened and golden brown. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes and continue to cook until they are soft and mushy.
Mix in the Kashmiri chili powder and turmeric powder thoroughly. Then add the tomato ketchup and mayonnaise, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
Toss in the frozen green peas and sauté briefly to incorporate. Add the boiled and shredded chicken pieces, mixing well so they are coated evenly with the masala. Turn off the heat and set the filling aside to cool.
Remove crusts from the bread slices. Stack two slices and flatten them with a rolling pin. Use a cookie cutter or a large lid to cut out circles from the flattened bread. Save leftover bread pieces for breadcrumbs.
Dip each cut bread circle into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs, ensuring even coverage.
Heat oil in a wok or deep frying pan. Deep fry the coated bread circles until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels to eliminate excess oil.
Once cooled, carefully cut each fried bread circle in the center to form a pocket. Stuff each pocket with the prepared chicken filling and some chopped tomatoes for freshness.
Serve the hot chicken bread pockets immediately and enjoy this crispy, savory treat.
Notes
These pockets are perfect for appetizers or tea-time treats.
Leftover bread can be used for breadcrumbs.
Customize the filling with your choice of vegetables.
